Access

From the right side of the Upper Bluff (a few minutes above Puke Point; base of Joyride & Tender... ), follow a flagged track initially 100m across right, then up & right up a forested gully. From the saddle at the top (dwarf beech forest), go right and along the top of West Main crag on a forested ridge. To find Wind Sand and Stars: When it opens out into a small tussock slope, go down the right side of the opening and through steep scrappy beech trees to a DBA on an easy slab at the top of the cliff (exposed).
